With such a huge fortune, one could easily create a wealthy conglomerate that could rival a country out of thin air. Shimizu Koji didn’t believe that Karasuma Renya would just abandon it so casually.

But this is the reality.

Perhaps, there is something unspeakable, for example, the equally terrifying resentment

“what!!!!”

Koji Shimizu could already hear Xiaolan’s scream without even having to distinguish it.

The sound came from the other side, and Xiaolan seemed to have gone to the bathroom or the restaurant just now?

Without thinking too much, Koji Shimizu hurried towards the direction of the sound, and Conan and Kaito also rushed out of the room and followed him.

Xiaolan went to the kitchen. Because of what happened in the restaurant just now, she certainly had no appetite. Not only her, but no one else ate much either because they were afraid of being poisoned.

So Xiaolan thought about going to the kitchen to prepare some snacks, but she didn’t expect that as soon as she opened the kitchen door

“hiss–!”

The first person to rush to Xiaolan was Hakuba Tan, and when this nobleman saw the situation in the kitchen, he couldn’t help but gasp. Then, Qiangda Yumi, who came later, helped Xiaolan up from the ground, and then looked into the kitchen. His pupils suddenly shrank, and he subconsciously took two steps back.

“Sister Xiaolan?!”

“Xiaolan, are you okay?!”

“Dad, Conan, I’m fine, look at that.”

Xiaolan stretched out her hand tremblingly and pointed to the kitchen, while Conan, Kaito and Shimizu Koji, who had just arrived, followed her finger and looked in the direction of the kitchen.

“hiss–“

The kitchen is not as big and spacious as the restaurant. Looking through the door, you can see the whole situation inside. At first glance, apart from the bright red bloodstains, there is only a corpse that is soaked in blood and is almost unrecognizable.

“Mr. Mogi.”

There was a kitchen knife stuck in Haruki Mogi’s neck, his hair was messy like dry weeds, his body was covered with blood and scars, and his gorgeous suit was now tattered, looking like he had been through a fierce fight.

However, what is of concern is that he has two hands, one of which is tightly holding the kitchen knife on his neck, and the other hand is holding another shiny knife.

“How is this going?!”

Hakuba Tan no longer had the calmness he had at the beginning, and Kaito, who followed him in to check the situation, had his eyelids twitching. He swallowed subconsciously, turned around and prepared to bring in reinforcements.

Because, according to his experience, the scars on Haruki Mogi’s body were most likely caused by himself!

Chapter 558 Different opinions

At the kitchen door, Xiaolan’s face was pale, and she was pulling Conan’s collar tightly. Conan tried his best to stop her, but it was of no use. He could only grit his teeth, clench his fists, and watch others enter the kitchen one by one to check the body that he regarded as a treasure.

The kitchen is not small, with an area of ​​about 40 square meters, which is even larger than the houses rented by many working people. However, in this kitchen of more than 40 square meters, bloody footprints, handprints, and splattered blood are almost everywhere.

Haruki Mogi was leaning against the middle cabinet, holding two swords in his hands, one stabbing himself and the other stabbing the air, looking very weird.

The luminol reagent that Ikumi brought with her was of no use at all, and the others fell silent for a moment. They even felt like they had no idea where to start.

After all, they were the ones who were always looking for clues at a scene that could be described as almost ‘clean’, rather than looking for them among clues that were everywhere.

“Mr. Maori, have you found anything?”

Detective Bai Ma took a deep breath and broke the brief silence. He did not intend to solve the case on his own as usual, because he knew very well that he could not do it.

He simply couldn’t figure out why there was nothing at the scene to prove that Mogi Haruki had been murdered.

But if you say that in this situation Haruki Mogi committed suicide, he would be the first to slap himself. He has always hated the group of police officers under his father who would always assume that someone committed suicide. He took them as a warning and naturally would not do such a despicable thing.

Kaito was investigating the scene very seriously, but he was not a detective after all, and even his old rival Hakuba was helpless, so it was certainly impossible for him to make any special discoveries.

Shaking his head, Kaito imitated Maori Kogoro’s low voice and said, “The situation at the scene was just like a brutal fight, but after a closer look, there was absolutely no trace of the presence of a second person.”

“Moreover, whether it’s footprints, scars, nail cracks, or pieces of clothing that fell on the ground, they all came from Mr. Mogi alone.”

Koji Shimizu put on gloves, took Mogi Haruki’s hand and added.

The detectives present had no objection to his appearance and participation. After all, unlike Conan, Koji Shimizu was not only asked by Kudo Shinichi, but he also looked credible enough, and did not look like a little brat who would cause trouble at the scene.

Hakuba Tan looked at Mogi Haruki’s bloody hand in silence. Of course he had noticed all this, but it was precisely because of this that he remained silent.

Suicide? Except for Shimizu Koji, everyone present had this thought in their mind at some point, but they didn’t stop.

“It looks like the crime scene of an old mountain demon, don’t you think, Mr. Maori?” Chijian Jiangdai said quietly as he looked at the knives on the chopping board.

Her jokes were not funny. Even Kaito couldn’t follow her humor and could only laugh awkwardly to hide his embarrassment.

“Old demon in the mountains?”

Gunda Ikumi was a little confused, and Kaito had no choice but to explain, “Well, on the way here, I accidentally had a small misunderstanding with Ms. Chiken.”

Bai Ma Tan was not interested in such misunderstandings. He looked serious and suddenly stood up and whistled twice. Then, amid Xiaolan’s restrained exclamation, Watson, who had flown away somewhere unknown, flew into the kitchen again.

“Mr. Bai Ma, can this Walter student of yours really help you solve the case?”

Koji Shimizu was a little surprised and rarely felt like joking. He actually already had some guesses, but he still needed to observe, confirm, and search.

Bai Ma Tan couldn’t help but look embarrassed when he heard this, and slowly shook his head and said, “No, it’s just that when Walter is by my side, I can concentrate more on thinking about the case. However, although it can’t help me solve the case, sometimes it is still very valuable in finding people.”

As Bai Ma Tan spoke, he stroked Watson’s bird’s head, and then Watson flapped his wings and flew up again, circling in the room.

Can a bird’s nose also serve as a dog’s nose? A portable police dog?

Everyone looked at Watson, but unfortunately, after circling three times, he didn’t land anywhere. Finally, in Bai Ma Tan’s surprised eyes, he fluttered and landed on Shimizu Koji’s shoulder.

However, this time, Shimizu Koji did not use the Sharingan on it. Even Shimizu Koji himself was a little surprised. “Does this mean that the murderer is me?”

“Uh, no no, of course not, sorry. Watson, come here quickly.”

Hakuba looked embarrassed. Could the murderer be Shimizu Koji? He had thought about it before. After all, he was not Conan and Kaito. He had 100% trust in Shimizu Koji. It was just that Walter fell on Shimizu Koji, and after what happened in the hall, there was nothing worth worrying about.

This has no other meaning except making his master lose face.

However, even though Bai Ma Tan’s tone was very anxious, Watson remained unmoved. He even raised his wings and began to groom his feathers, as if he was not going to leave.

Koji Shimizu reached out and stroked his bird twice, then looked at Watson. He vaguely sensed something unusual.

“It looks like Watson is planning to stay here for a while.”

“This…” This was the first time that the noble young master Bai Ma looked so embarrassed and at a loss, even when there was a tragic crime scene in front of him.

“But don’t worry, Hakuba-san. I think maybe Watson thinks it’s safer here, and he doesn’t intend to abandon you as his master~.”

Shimizu Koji has a bit of a bad taste. Although Kaito was also attracted by the case at this time, he almost couldn’t help laughing out loud when he heard Shimizu Koji’s words.

But there was no ill intention. Although Hakuba was a little depressed, he could only accept it. “Okay, okay. In this case, then I, an incompetent master, can only say sorry, Simimasa, I am sorry to trouble you, Shimizu-san.”

“It looks like we don’t need to rest tonight, but according to the mastermind behind this, if we don’t find the treasure, I’m afraid there will be no chance for us to leave this place. This is the edge of Tottori Prefecture. If no one calls the police, I’m afraid that even for several months, no one will come to this place.”

Ikumi Qiangtian gave up struggling and no longer tried to find anything from the body. She stood up, looked around, and seeing that everyone was looking at her, she asked a new question.

“So, I’m very curious as to why the guy hiding behind the scenes would attack Mr. Okami and Mr. Mogi. At the moment, it seems that this is the only possibility.”

“Could it be that Mr. Okami and Mr. Mogi have both discovered some incredible clues?”

“Hiss! This, this is indeed possible.” Kogoro Mori, played by Kaito, suddenly became cautious.

Chapter 559 Plan

The lounge returned to the leisure, peace and tranquility before dinner.

However, compared to that time, there were two fewer figures. The person playing billiards with Hakuba Tan was replaced by Shimizu Kōji instead of Mogi Haruki. Conan and Kaito were watching the game on the side. Not far away, three women of different ages were sitting around a small round table, playing poker.

And because of the series of murders, the maid, Miss Ishihara, is now guarding the door of the lounge, or of course, inside the door.

“I feel that things have gone in a direction that is out of control, so I’m afraid we can only continue to waste time like this instead of resting.”

Koji Shimizu hit a hole-in-one, then put away the club, picked up the anti-slip powder, and began to wipe the club leisurely.

It’s rare to be together with a group of grown men, and there is a different feeling here. Well, if we exclude the influence of the murder case, it should be very relaxing.

Although Koji Shimizu is not afraid in front of Ai, Eri, or other people, he still needs to be careful with his words and actions. Although this has a lot to do with his fickleness, it is indeed not as free as being with boys.

Although he is not married and has no child, Koji Shimizu seems to have vaguely understood the difficulties men face after marriage.

“Uncontrollable?” Bai Ma Tan was a little confused.

Kaito and Conan also raised their eyebrows and looked at Shimizu Koji.

“Mr. Oyama’s death is not strange. Well, I mean, it doesn’t seem strange. He died of potassium cyanide poisoning, which is a common murder poison. I think you are all familiar with it. So, it can be judged that Mr. Okami’s death must be a murder case planned by someone.”

“Yeah, that’s right, that’s our previous conclusion.” Kaito interrupted.

While playing basketball, Shimizu Koji continued calmly: “But the second murder case is very strange. This is strange, just pure strangeness. It doesn’t look like a murder scene at all, right? What do you think?”

After a brief silence, Conan adjusted his glasses, which were already flashing white light, and said, “It’s like a replica of the tragedy that happened more than 40 years ago.”

“A tragedy happened more than forty years ago.” Kaito frowned.

Everyone present already knew about the tragedy that occurred more than 40 years ago, and even though they heard it from Bai Ma Tan, no one expressed any doubt.

Koji Shimizu didn’t care whether what Hakuba said was true or not. No matter what Karasuma Renya’s purpose was, the result would be the same, that is, death, all dead, many people died.

If he was not sure that the organization was not an organization with supernatural powers like Onmyoji, Koji Shimizu would now be wondering whether Karasuma Renya had organized a blood sacrifice or something like that before his death.

“In short, Mr. Mogi’s death is very strange, so strange that it would be difficult to find the murderer even if we use normal detective methods in our lifetime. But from Mr. Mogi’s death, we can easily draw a conclusion, that is, the murderer is likely not going to leave anyone alive, so we’d better choose a different approach.”

Shimizu Hiroji has said so much. Whether it is Hakuba Tan, Kaito or Conan, their martial arts may not be very strong, but they are definitely very smart.

“Lead the snake out of its hole!”

No one spoke, but they looked at each other, and the detectives’ tacit understanding made everything clear.

However, Hakuba Tan was a little confused as to why Shimizu Koji trusted him so much. Was it because of his identity? He wanted to ask, but couldn’t.

Even until now, he was still not sure whether the person behind the scenes was someone else hiding in this villa, or someone among them.

The answer is actually very simple. Wattson cannot speak, but the Sharingan allows it to “speak”, so of course Koji Shimizu can trust him.

“Oh, I suddenly remembered that before dinner, when I was looking for the bathroom, I seemed to see a car.”

Koji Shimizu suddenly spoke, his voice much louder than before, loud enough for everyone in the lounge to hear. The three detectives beside the pool table withdrew their thoughts, without the need for secret signals or eye contact, and they all immersed themselves in the role in a second.

“Car?!”

“Car?! Brother Koji, where did you see it?!”

“Shimizu-san, are you kidding me?”

In just a moment, the noise here attracted the attention of other people in the lounge. Xiaolan, Qiangda Ikumi, Chijian Kyouyo and the maid all came closer consciously.

“Let me think.”

“If it’s in the backyard, there is indeed a car.” The maid, Miss Ishihara, suddenly raised her hand weakly.

“What?” Everyone looked at her in surprise, and Koji Shimizu was also a little confused.

The maid’s expression became a little embarrassed and timid. She really forgot. She was just a part-time college student. She had never encountered such a terrible situation. She was frightened by the murder case and was dizzy. She didn’t remember it for a while.

“I’m sorry, that’s my car. To be more precise, it’s the car that the master asked me to prepare, but because of what happened, I accidentally forgot about it.”

Five minutes later, a group of eight people appeared in the backyard of the villa in an orderly manner.

Sure enough, in the rain that had already subsided, a golden sedan was parked quietly next to the backyard gate.

“Oh, that’s good, at least I have a car.”

“Yes, this way, we can at least verify whether the suspension bridge is really broken. I still don’t quite believe that the owner of the villa would kill himself.”

Bai Ba Tan said very confidently.

According to everyone’s speculation, the owner of the villa must be in this villa. After all, two consecutive murders are enough proof. And if that person is in the villa and loses his phone, car and suspension bridge, even if he finds the treasure, it may not be easy to contact the outside world and transport the treasure away. There is not even a space for a helicopter to land temporarily.

Lure the snake out of its hole is one thing, and verifying this guess is another. Overall, this car is exciting enough.

Kogoro Mouri, also known as Kaito, braved the drizzle and hurriedly checked the car carefully. After confirming that there was no problem, he ran back to the crowd.

“Well, now, we need someone to do this.”

“Let’s toss a coin!” Conan’s tone was full of childish innocence.

Everyone looked at each other and nodded in agreement. Excluding Conan, Xiaolan and the still suspicious maid, the remaining five people fought a round of duels, and in the end, Chikan Kyouyo successfully won.

Looking at the lights of the car slowly going away, Shimizu Koji retracted his gaze. Hakuba Tan and Kaito were beside him. Kaito was the first to ask softly, “Well, is this really okay if the person behind the scenes intends to kill us all?”
